CVE-2017-13766
In Wireshark 2.4.0 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.8, the Profinet I/O dissector could crash with an out-of-bounds write.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.00%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
